openapx/rworkbench repository overview

The repository contains a set of complete images with the Posit/R-Studio Workbench (Open Source version) application and multiple versions of R intended for Life Science GxP use and other regulated industries.

The containers are based on the openapx/rbatch⁠ container images. The rworkbench container image inherits 2 versions of R and the 160+ R packages for each that is provided by the rbatch container used as the build source.

The Posit/R-Studio version installed is the latest release for Open Source license. As this license only supports a single version of R, the latest R version is enabled as indicated by the symbolid link /opt/R/workbench. To enable a different version of R, either repoint the symbolic link or edit the rserver.conf file.
